Low Fuel Indicator

  1. When ignition is on, fuel pump symbol should light if fuel level is less than 1/4 tank. Indicator should remain off otherwise. If indicator light comes on with more than 1/4 tank of fuel, go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition off. Unplug fuel gauge sending unit connection at tank. Connect 56-ohm resistor between harness connector Yellow/White wire terminal and ground. Turn ignition on. Wait 2 minutes. Fuel gauge should indicate about 1/4 tank.
  3. Observe indicator light. If indicator light is off, replace antislosh module, mounted at rear of instrument cluster. If light is on, turn ignition off. Replace 56-ohm resistor with 33-ohm resistor. Turn ignition on. Wait 2 minutes. Fuel gauge should indicate about 1/8-1/4 tank.
  4. Observe indicator light. If indicator light is off, replace antislosh module. If indicator light is on, and fuel gauge indicates approximately1/8-1/4 tank, fuel gauge and antislosh module are okay. Inspect fuel gauge sending unit for intermittent fault.
  5. If indicator light is on and fuel gauge indicates more than 1/4 tank, test operation of fuel gauge. See FUEL GAUGE TEST.
